how long it took you to realize it?

The worst thing about working in an office is FEMALE COWORKERS.
All they do is complain about pointless shit, make drama out of nothing and talk all fucking day. They just never shut up. BLABLABLABLA all day long.
Having an office job in the 1950s/1960s as a guy must have been great.

4 years. Wanted to die because i didn't have a job, Got job and felt like a zombie. Hardly a improvement. Dunno what the fuck is wrong with me but i guess it could be worse.

AHHHHH NOT AN AC MANAGED OFFICE WITH CUBICLES AHHH NO NOT BENEFITS AND A DECENT PAY AIEEEEEEEEEE

>>211408803
The worst is having female coworkers who are "devs". I had to ask one to commit the work they did and it took me an hour to convince her she forgot to commit it (didnt even look at her code).

As soon as I asked she claimed I had no idea what I was doing and that I needed to be trained better. Bitch we have logs

>>211408803
The women are the best part of the office anon. Sexy slender fit women in business casual. Of course some of them dress like slobs but still. I have gotten more pussy from work than online dating or clubbing shit.

>>211408936
>Ahhh im a sweaty favela spic and think white people care about my AC slave fantasy

It's lost on a lot of people that his job was specific to Y2K so his job was likely temporary once the deadline passed.

>>211408576 (OP)
he had it pretty fucking good honestly.
2 chill coworkers who he could hang with after work
enough money to live on his own and own a car. successful with women

things are strictly worse now and it's only going to get worse

>people at work complaining about stagnating wages
>hr decides to create a "fun comittee"
>it's all unpaid volunteers
>start seeing posters appear around the building for potlucks and donation drives
these things will surely assuage the discontent

Oh, it’s another bottom of the barrel zoomers not understanding what lack of purpose is thread

>>211409464
Cope

>>211409539
What’s cope is you thinking getting an absolutely pointless job will somehow make you feel better about your life because right now it seems a better than the absolute dead end of a basement dwelling life you have right now. The grass isn’t greener retard, Ted was right

>>211409645
About that grass. Touched some lately? :^)

>>211409464
Presumably they’ll figure it out eventually. The only fulfillment or purpose you get out of life is essentially that which you make for yourself. They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

Office jobs don't need to be 8 hours long. Nothing of any value gets done after lunch.

Office work is piss easy. Just get a Xanax prescription and learn to stealth alcoholic.

>>211409029
My office is full of old or fat hags

>>211408803
I work for a company that has been around long enough that basically only one person is still around from when the company was founded and the rest of the staff has turned over multiple times
my boss has been around long enough to have seen turnover and even she admitted that she prefers the department to be all-men the way it is now, then when it was all-women (just before I first started) because the men are way less drama

The worst part about it is bureaucracy in general, the whole fake professional no fun allowed culture. Imagine working finance in a cubicle but you can still scream slurs with your coworker bros, blare whatever music you want, eat pizza at your desk - foster a culture like that and worker happiness and productivity would shoot through the roof. Nobody wants to go to a dead silent place where you have to wear a stupid uncomfortable suit and worry about upsetting Loretta the obese HR lady for making a joke a third grader would laugh at or deal with Bill the short supervisor who acts like a complete fucking faggot with no sense of humor and gets off on having a smidgen of power over people that could overpower him with one hand.

I got caught playing solitaire at work once. I actually felt bad because the boss who caught me was actually a really nice old guy who thought I was a great worker. It felt like he was more disappointed than anything

>>211411444
>ugh why can't everyone just be like me!?!? everyone else is the problem!
because work is real life. it shows you that you're not going to like everyone you encounter. te best you can do is learn how to cope with it all.

this sounds oddly specific

>>211411785
That's why I don't work, you have to deal with passive aggressive homofags like you who think you have the right to be offended by everything and aren't a horrible piece of shit for crying your eyes out when you hear someone say faggot.

>>211408576 (OP)
I used to make fun of this movie with the other memes about what a cry baby he was being for complaining about his middle class job in an office. But then I actually got an office job in a cubcile and it all made sense. Everything about it is so soul crushing, from the gray penny penching shitty design and lack of color in everything to the cold corpo approved way people are forced to interact with each other, it made me go crazy. And then the money isnt even really worth it. Its enough to get by, but its money you can make anywhere really.

>>211408803
Female led meetings are the absolute worst, what's scheduled for an hour ends up being two and a half and you don't even get all of your assignments or get the follow-up that you need because they're just blathering on about nonsense.

In the 90s when it came out its why I never got an office job

>>211408576 (OP)
Never had a job where I felt like Peter
Most jobs I had was me playing games/watching movies/reading books for about 5-6 hours of day while taking a few walks up of 'oh thank fuck you're in please explain kind sir, how to press the button on my mouse' and got paid around double the average wage in my country (western eufag)

So I can't identify with him

>>211412661
He was manually editing banking software code, line by line, to not break when the year changed to 2000, because when they originally coded it in the 70s, they only used two digits for the year, because they didn’t think it would still be in use 30 years later. So when the date hit 00, it wouldn’t be able to tell if it was 1900 or 2000, and the software would crash. Doesn’t really compare to basic helpdesk shit you’re talking about.

>>211412837
>basic helpdesk
Anon, I run a few hundred servers
I just happen to do helpdesk too because it's funny as fuck being praised for the most basic shit

My point is that I wasn't a retard who took a job ever in my life that was bad
Peter's problem is he's the fault of everything wrong

Except he's right. Not everyone wants to be bothered by your unfunny attention seeking behaviour. You're not as funny or interesting as you'd like to think and people don't have to like you or your way of living.

>>211408803
The worst is the passive-aggressive, cunty attitude so many women have. I swear it’s like 8/10 women I’ve had to deal with end every fucking sentence with some kind of “we don’t do X like that here, but okay” shit and it drives me up the fucking wall. A woman in the workplace with no attitude and is actually pleasant to be around is worth her weight in gold holy fuck it boggles my mind how nonexistent that person is. Top it off with the same worthless bitches blatantly playing favorites at work and I imagine it’s what the average workplace experience is like

>>211408913
it's always been a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

In the 50s/60s all the serious work would be done by men, and if you did have women in the workplace they'd do clerical or secretarial work that wasn't high stakes or serious. My workplace is full of libtarded cunty women. They are either full blown frumpy millennial redditors who constantly reference "The Office" or aging decrepit hags. They constantly complain, constantly ask for help with their assigned tasks, and constantly talk to one another about inane bullshit.

i worked in an office in Korea for a while. most of the foreign coworkers there felt like rejects who couldn't fit in their home countries. but maybe its like that everywhere. fat, tattoos everywhere, gossipy, and constantly complaining. oh and being Korea, they were always seething with jealousy.

>contrast this with dead end jobs or jobs that destroy your body and don’t allow for a good life balance
>tell them that many (most?) people dislike their jobs and how that’s at least 25% of your time every week going towards something you hate, so it’s incentive to work hard, try new things and find something that you enjoy, are good at and can make a good living

These miserable office drones and other workers are an honest to god mystery to me. I worked shit jobs when I was younger and it just pushed me to want more. At around age 21 or so I just couldn’t handle settling for mediocrity and I don’t know why others do. I’m not saying “dude just get a PhD” or “dude just get a great job it’s easy” but to complain and not try to make any change because of laziness/inertia/self sabotage/complacency is just crazy to me.

You can make 100k/year straight out of college easily. If you're ambitious, your college internships will pay that much.

>>211416292
You got lucky. Period. Your hard work helped you get into a position to maximize that luck, but it was still pure luck that got you where you are. Where you were born matters 100,000x more than hard work. You think you could have still worked your way to your position if you were born in rural China with a debilitating disease? Or as a black woman in Chicago born to a poor mother who beat you daily? You think you can just "work hard" away every obstacle in life? If so you really are privileged. Not saying you shouldn't enjoy your lucky lot in life, you should, but understand it was 10% you 90% lucky circumstances that got you that life.

Morons like you who only think with their dick is the reason every workplace got ruined by women in the firstplace fucktard. Moronic boomers who just blithely gave women any and every job they wanted because they wanted sexo. kys

>>211416318
you pissed off the dick-thinkers now anon

>>211411444
The real kicker is that 20% of the people at any workplace do 80%+ of the work.
I have made conscious efforts to become part of that 80% that does 20% of the work and my life is so much better now.
No bosses or coworkers think they can rely on me for anything so they never give me extra work because I hardly even do the work I am supposed to do.
I am always 5-15 minutes late and always leave 10 minutes early and all the small useless meetings we have at the start of the day I purposefully miss by being 10 minutes late.

Simply having sex doesn't mean I "think with my dick". You just want it to be that way because you can't have sex. Envy is an ugly look, anoncel

Why was 1999 the year where all these movies came out?

>>211416581
it is. if there's only a small handful of slots and there's thousands of people competing for every single one, landing said spot is a matter of pure luck. One not only needs to work their ass off, they also need nothing to happen in their life that stands in their way.

I would say the actual work is closer to 50% but with the added bonus time of dreading going to work and feeling down after coming home from work that like 75-85% of my weeks are spent on working a job I hate but at least it pays decently well in comparison to other jobs in my communist hellhole of a nation.

With a quote

ITT: Socially awkward introverts that think small talk is literally hitler.
Try being good at conversation and you can actually choose when to interact and how to politely brush off people. Working in the office is such an easy way to have a collective audience to solve your general problems too. Can't believe the amount of times I've been telling a quirky story only to have someone chime in with a nugget of info that makes my life better. And it's free!
There's politics everywhere you just need to leave offices that are truly irredeemable. Having a boss that doesn't bother you unless you are majorly missing deadlines is the best and anons lack the drive to get in a position like that. They take the first wagie cubicle they get and then bitch about their peers that they got through skill-based matchmaking.

Yep, I made the mistake of thinking working hard and being early and always going the extra mile would be rewarded with my first real job out of college. Learned from that error and now I'm comfy doing far less work for much more money at another company. The only time it ever makes sense to work hard in clown world economy is if you are working on commission or you own the company. Otherwise just do the bare minimum to keep your job.

I had one at my last job that was like that, really nice no drama girl and would just chill and joke around, but she also liked playing dumb(plus flaunt her huge fucking ass in front of you) so guys would do her job for her.

How big is the chance that you'll see a female coworker's bare feet? I know girlies who wear heels just kick them off half the time because those things are uncomfortable and you can't do a lot of shit in them

>>211417501
Thats because the management realises that they can just keep pushing these hard working goys to the breaking point and statistically they will be able to find a new goy once the one they are overworking breaks down.

BUT in true clown world fashion they have went too far and now they are struggling with finding hard working goys and also are forced to hire more and more useless dei “workers” that will keep increasing operating costs in an unstoppable spiral until every single large established brand goes under.

I am surprised that not more of these “industry giants” have been bankrupted yet but I guess that blackrock and their retirement plans are keeping this titanic of an economy afloat for a few more years.

As long as it affects the boomers too which it finally does I am ok with it all burning down.

I'm getting made redundant and have to help train my "offshore" replacement. Thanks for reading my blog

>>211419310
wow old 4chan was unfunny as shit

>>211419562
Are you going to train them wrong out of spite?
What incentive do you have to train them well?

>>211419344
Okay so go do that. Also consider them checked.

>>211419061
Sometimes but it's more of an annoyance since you can't just keep staring at them without getting noticed and it's hard not to.

>>211419228
You need to apply for a new position to get an actual pay raise. Any “promotion” you are given in your department or position will just result in more work and equal pay or a VERY slight salary increase but not really enough to justify the amount of extra work you now have.

NEVER accept any of these half assed “promotions” it’s not worth it.

Plus it resets the timer for when you can change jobs and not have your managers be mad at you.
In todays economy you need to change jobs ever 2-3 years to stay on top of inflation and these small “promotions” reset that timer within the company you are currently working for.

>>211419228
When you work hard you become irreplaceable in your current role so instead the promotion goes to the guy who barely carries his own weight and kisses all the right asses. Besides, getting a new job somewhere else is more effective at getting a big raise than gunning for a promotion at your current employer and you can bullshit them about your work ethic/accomplishments.

>>211419562
You should just find a new job and not train your replacement.

Also HR can eat shit, I will NEVER attend any of your fucking after work bbqs and shit you fucking retarded women cunts fuck you.

>>211419871
I earn more than most of my department because I actually just told them what I wanted to get paid when they hired me.

Time is a flat circle, the company doesn't care about you, and if you threaten their brand or their image even incidentally you're out the door no matter how valuable or important you might be to them. Never forget that. Spend time with your kids, your friends, your family. A job is just a job and the only people who remember how late you work will be you and your family.

I agree. Return to monke is a dumb proposition. However I like to believe there's a modicum of truth to be found. I refer to this Calvin & Hobbes comic a lot because it reminds me that if there's money to be made from more efficiency or productivity, demand for it will increase. Life is like one huge cookie clicker game to the spreadsheeters sitting in HQ on the 30th floor.
In reality the world is so insanely efficient and productive that most jobs as evidenced by Office Space and this thread are useless, but because of our economics of scarcity, you MUST work a job to survive. If there was going to be any return to monke, I think a better alternative is actually UBI for citizens and forced job cuts. Then the people who HAVE a job become like the tax payers of Rome, where it (a job) is considered a privilege and a status symbol of your place in society. But anytime UBI is brought up, you get mouth frothers saying "BUT THEY SHOULD BE WORKING" which goes right back to the maximize productivity to incrementally maximize money issue, all over again. It's antithetical to the economics of scarcity itself. So maybe it's just more fun as a thought experiment.

There’s a lot of truth to this. I grew up working on our family farm and then I spent 4 years doing paper work for Luminaire furniture in Miami. Luminaire paid a lot more but it was extremely unsatisfying where as after laying irrigation pipe and driving trucks and tractors and branding cattle and putting up fence posts while getting cooked in the sun made me look forward to every break and every meal and I slept like a baby every night. And I had erectile dysfunction while doing an office job but as soon as I took over my parents farm I could fuck like a bull again.

problem is who pays? the rich will just flee the country or set up in a tax haven so that either pushed the burden even more so on the middle or you get even higher inflation as you print more money for ubi.

also ubi is just unemployment but bigger, give them $1k/month and they'll as for $2k, give them $20k/month and they'll as for $40k. better to just liquidate the un-useful after mandatory civil conscription starship troopers style, but mandatory

Don't be fucking stupid and that is not even close to how life expectancy works, and you should know this. If you got to puberty you'd probably be living to your 60s just as well as you would nowadays.

The only time I ever saw a UBI type of economy depicted that could work was in a Heinlein novel, but that was only because the economy was monitored by genetically modified math autists and networked computers that could predict and observe global economic activity and make such adjustments and balances to the currency distribution.
Wierd story though, basically two parts, one with one of these math autists becoming enamored with a conspiracy of elites wanting to overthrow the governing committees and clean out peoples they deem "undesirable" which appealed to his calculating brain, but then when he finds his oneitis waifu at a party and later finds out she'd be one of the undesireables, he's conflicted. His friend knows the conspiracy is fake and gay and they just want to off people to loot the economic balance amongst themselves and stops it, then the second half is his navel gazing about the meaning of life while the governing commitees debate philosophy and if telepathy or consciousness transfer is possible and how to scientifically find out.

Considering the memes always paint Heinlein as a borderline fascist, I was surprised this rich developed world was a global centralised planned economy where every individual is equal under the law and the villains are essentially elitists wanting to undermine the system for their own ends.

He worked on bank software, that's all the info the movie gives you. You speculate that he got hired as a temp to fix Y2K, but it's just as likely he already worked there and was just focused on that at the time. Just because the big dogs intended to fire him later doesn't mean he was a temp. He could have been working there for 10 years for all you know.

Let me repeat myself then since you are unable to reread my post.
Could he have been hired as a temp? yes
Could he have already been working there before Y2k (aka not a temp)? yes

But the fact that they were even considering firing him implies he already worked there (not as a temp) on bank software.

This, office-life is easy and you don't even have to be great at conversation desu, but being easy to talk to certainly helps elevate things. I work with a legit autistic guy and he's beloved by the office despite sometimes being stiff or awkward in day-to-day social situations. The office is probably the best environment to seamlessly interact with other people to build a mixed social circle of men and women in similar age groups if you're young/in a new city. The trick is to stick to the major companies though. Smaller ones are a real crapshoot whether they're great or terrible.

His job was temporary. That is not the same thing as being a temp. Companies often over-hire for temporary work, promising the position to be permanent, and then lay off the excess. Which is what was happening in office space.

>>211429404
>His job was temporary.
So you've now moved the goalposts by trying to argue semantics. By your own standard all jobs are temporary. But you know that's not the argument.

The question is; was he hired as a temp to fix Y2K, or was he already working there prior.
The answer is: you don't know because the movie doesn't tell you.

Maybe try watching movies sometime.

>>211420985

Here's the original post:

The implication is that he was hired to specifically fix Y2K.
Which is wrong. You don't know how long he has been working there. Your lame semantics will not work on me.

Retard.

>>211429730
Nta but the other guy’s argument stands and you’ve moved the goalposts. It’s much easier to get rid of someone on a temporary contract by just not renewing their contract. Less ugliness involved. It’s either a plot hole or strongly implied that his contract was indeterminate by even having to potentially fire him.

>>211412347
>doesn't understand proper punctuation

Many such cases. Sad!

>>211429870
He was hired specifically for y2k because that’s what he said his job was. Samefagging won’t change this. Tons of companies did that at the time because it was a big panic. They didn’t want temp workers they wanted people who thought they’d get permanent employment out of it.

>>211429870
And here is where you took “position is temporary” to mean “he was hired as a temp.” >>211427023 because you’re stupid.

>>211430396
Ok, ignoring the fact that you severely dented, please answer this question:
Is it possible to be previously hired to work on bank software full time and then later be moved to focusing on Y2K during that period. Try answering without moving the goalposts or arguing semantics. Good luck!

>>211414063
Based and Wholesome. Everyone's a nigger to someone, and more people should realize that.

>>211430562
He didn’t say “what I’m doing right now,” he said “my job is.” You made the faulty connection between “the job was temporary,” as it was, by definition, to “he was hired as a temporary worker.” Because you’re stupid.

>>211430523
Again you're arguing semantics like a fag.
The implication in the original post was that he was hired -temporarily- to exclusively work on Y2K, and then get the boot.
But you have no idea how long he has been working there. He could have been working on general banking software there for 10 years prior and was only focused on Y2K because of the time period. You have no fucking idea because the movie doesn't tell you.
However the fact is if he was temporary it doesn't make sense for the big dogs to do a big song and dance about his contract - he simply would not have been renewed. The implication is that he has been working there for some time.

Again, you are severely retarded and I would ask you to seek immediate help.

What the fuck is a career? I have a masters degree a house and property and I never expected thematic linear progression of my job like an rpg character lmao

>>211430736
The movie is literally telling you his job, by definition, is not permanent. You’re shown he’s about to be laid off. One is connected to the other.

Watch the movie sometime.

>>211430717
Wrong, you couldn't even get that right. Also notice how you didn't answer the question.

Here's the transcript:
>What what do you do there?
>I sit in a cubicle and I update bank software for the 2000 switch

He's telling her what he's currently doing. That doesn't tell you past or future. Try learning english some time.

>>211430809
>You’re shown he’s about to be laid off.
Which has nothing to do with him being a temporary Y2K hire or not. You would like to pretend it does, but the movie does not go there.

Retard.

Im 34, and a firefighter. I have never had an office job and I literally don't know what office workers do all day. None. Even my normie friends that work in offices have explained what they do and and I can't fathom how they have enough "work" to do for 40hrs.
>Emails and meetings
Yeah about what though?

>>211411444
>trying to enjoy a nice, quiet hike innawoods
>interrupted by nonstop banshee wailing

>>211430962
You are the only person stupid enough to think “the nature of the job was temporary” means “he was hired as a temp.”

>>211431042
>still arguing semantics and missing the point this hard
>still hasn't answered the question because the honest answer defeats his own point
I'm willing to accept your concession at this point.

>>211431086
You think this is a semantic argument because you’re stupid. The entire point of the first portion of the movie is he knew every second he worked he was accelerating towards no longer having a job. During the y2k panic everyone was mass recruiting code monkeys for insane wages with the plan to lay them off once the y2k patching was finished. That’s the setting of the movie.

>>211431446
Again, the original post:

>It's lost on a lot of people that his job was specific to Y2K so his job was likely temporary once the deadline passed

His job was temporary, yes, as evident by the fact that he was going to get fired, and the fact that Y2K would pass. Except THAT IS NOT THE POINT of that post.
The implication of that post is that his job was temporary -because- he was only hired for Y2K. The movie never touches on this.

Again, you are a retard.

>>211428753

>>211431446
>plan to lay them off once the y2k patching was finished
lol you didn't even watch the movie. everyone else that was getting fired had nothing to do with y2k.

absolute retard.

>>211431467
Again, I’ll repeat/reiterate this because I enjoy watching stupid people be stupid, in the late 90s, tons of companies mass hired code monkeys in positions the companies would claim are permanent to patch out all y2k vulnerabilities. If you weren’t stupid you realized your absurdly high paying job was temporary, as you’d be one of a dozen or so code monkeys working to patch a specific bug, and there was no other work lined up after.

This is the literal and explicitly stated setting of office space. 1999, a tech company patching y2k vulnerabilities for other companies.

>>211431622
Oh right I forgot Peter didn’t have coworkers and wasn’t part of a department that was about to be laid off in its entirety. My bad.

>>211431662
I think you enjoy being stupid. No one else was working on Y2K in that movie. It had nothing to do with the plot outside of being his current job.
>>211431730
What were their jobs? Go on, list them.

>>211430966
There is no reason for office wagies to work a 40 hour 9-5 schedule that was designed for factory workers on assembly lines where hours worked directly translates to productivity, but since we live in an open air Jewish prison this relic isn't going away. I work in insurance. I calculate and negotiate prices when companies look around for quotes. To answer your question most of the time I spend 1-2 hours a day actually working (3-4 hours during our busiest quarter of the year). If it's really slow I only have 15-30 minutes of work to do.

Besides emails and meetings I do my actual work in Excel plus a couple proprietary programs. The emails are mostly just making sure the right people signed off on important stuff and reminding people to do shit that has to be done in order for you to do your job. That way there is a paper trail to show you did what you could in case some lazy faggot coworker is preventing you from doing your job because he wouldn't do his job. Externally most of my negotiating takes place over email with the occasional phone call. The meetings are 90% foids and middle managers wasting our time talking about nothing and 10% useful information that could have just been an email.

When I was still reporting to an office that other 4-7.75 hours of the day were spent pretending to look busy if my manager was in. If she was not in I could play around on my phone, read a book and take a 2 hour lunch with coworkers. Now that I work from home I have an L-shaped desk in my home office. My work computer is on one side and my own computer is on the other side. I play vidya and shitpost all day on my computer, slide over to my work computer when there is something to do, then go back to vidya/shitposting. I usually eat lunch at my desk, then spend my lunch hour doing chores or fucking my FWB or taking a walk if it's nice out. You have so much more time in your day without a commute and when you can do chores during work hours.

>>211431754
>what were Peter’s coworkers/friends jobs

It’s safe to infer they were doing the same thing Peter was before Peter gets hypnotherapy, and the people person was selling the necessity of y2k patching to other companies. Hence the setting of the movie.

>>211431875
lol you didn't watch the movie. they literally get called into the office to explain their work. hint: none of them mention y2k

>>211431929
I accept your concession.

>>211431956
>literally no refutation
lol, I accept your concession though. thanks for playing.

>>211432002
you had no refutation or response in your post at >>211431929. You said nothing. Thus I accepted your concession at >>211431956.

>>211417512
Work at it you fucking tard instead of bitching online. No one said it's easy but it is simple.

>>211426897
Honest answer, they retrain their bodies and build a new sleep habit.

>>211432061
>we have to infer what they were doing
>completely ignores the part of the movie where they explain exactly what they do
Again, I accept your concession. Better luck next time!

>>211431929
Because the efficiency consultants weren’t asking what people’s jobs were, what they were working on. They already knew.

>>211417164
Thank you anon. And big companies have tons of social events for you to make friends. Wagie labourers get mad that the office is an adult playground but some of y'all clearly need it. Why wouldn't I want to live a better quality of life that pays well and gives me free time to do other things?

>>211432168
Peter only explains his job to Jennifer Aniston. The rest of the characters desperately try to justify why they should stay. Peter gets fast tracked to promotion by saying he doesn’t do shit.

>>211431526
I'm actually in a Leaf zogbot but holy most of that stuff applies to us.
The funniest email we got from our Gen and Defence Staff was talking about how niggers commit all the crime, disobedience, AWOL, etc and that is is racial profiling because they're being targeted for all this.

Any Leaf fags who read their email in 2023/24 can find it, it was accidentally kino.

I hate women so much it's not even funny. The only good military women HATE military women, not even joking.
If you ever join you will HATE simps and women with all your heart, niggers are just niggers I don't expect much from them. Jeets are annoying and very dumb.
Officers are generally leftist faggots like he said, but WOMEN IN POWER are so awful I can't even begin to describe it

>>211431778
I avoided an office job for years because being forced to look busy at a desk all day is my idea of hell.
But now that work from home is popular, your last paragraph makes me want an office job now. I could totally handle that.

>>211429365
>I don't like my job... And I don't think I'm gonna go anymore.
>Peter you're work from home

I mean making six figures (just over prebonus) is nice. having a wfh job that doesn't require intense effort but regardless of scenario computer jobs are just draining. the corpo climb is also a huge waste of effort unless you're ultra shallow. making what I am making I am beyond comfortable and can't see any reason to make more or carry more stress just to do so.

>>211432497
Yeah, being forced to look like you are working is worse than actually working. At least time passes fast when you're legitimately busy. Fortunately my manager had to travel often. The days she wasn't around to constantly check on me were nice.

But remote work is incredible. I NEET'd for awhile in between jobs and my lifestyle now working from home is pretty similar. Only major difference is I have to keep a normal sleep schedule. Just make sure you work somewhere that embraces remote work instead of somewhere with 1984 "camera always on" policies and executives/middle managers pushing the "return to office" meme.

>>211432776
How did you get to this point

>>211408576 (OP)
The influence of films like Office Space and Fight Club and others, and the general cynicism and pseudo "class war" bullshit of Gen X influence ruined countless impressionable young lives. Created a bunch of jobless do nothing drifters and dropouts. I know, I'm one of them. If it wasn't for this kind of prevailing attitude to relate with and embolden me I probably would have eventually relented and been like "welp it's the way of the world guess I gotta get a job now"

>>211432997
my only issue is, Ive only gone blue collar shit. I have a BA degree but I don't even know what company or position I would apply for AND that would be WFH. My resume would be useless probably

soft office worker hands typed this shit

>>211433159
>The influence of films like Office Space and Fight Club and others, and the general cynicism and pseudo "class war" bullshit of Gen X influence ruined countless impressionable young lives.
If pretty lights off the magic display box really ruined lives, those people should've been euthanized at birth.

>>211434202
You sound like an angry faggot who sees everyone else’s lack of awareness and not your own. However I agree with the spirit of your argument. Art can’t influence people more than people influence/create art.
>>211432002
>>211432061
Jesus Christ you two are still at it.

>>211433159
The point of all of those movies was how it was more beneficial to “society” and “the economy” to hire people to perform tasks that could be automated than it was to automate their jobs. The steam engine was invented in 20bc but it wasn’t developed because slave labor was the backbone of the Roman economy.

>>211435136
Nah, it ended with >>211432260 and >>211432220
